Former Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi chatted today on ESPNBoston.com, and the discussion can be reviewed here.
Topics included the Patriots' search for a third receiver, the desire for more offensive creativity, how tough it is to tackle Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew, and what it was like to be 14-0 and going for an undefeated season.
At the end of the chat, Bruschi was asked if the Patriots will be able to stop Jones-Drew.
"I think they will," he says. "Because if they clinch the division with a win this week, it's very possible that they will approach Week 17 as a bye week and rest up the starters that are hurt. Players play hard for a week's rest."
